Well, I am just so very pleased to report that it is now 6 months since my son's colonoscopy confirmed that he has Crohn's Disease.
Although the GI specialist insisted that only the conventional medications would bring relief and prevent further inflammation,ulceration, fistulas etc, we decided against the medications because of the potential side effects, and for a supplement/diet program that I had put together from a number of sources and taken to a holistic practitioner for guidance and approval
My son's latest blood test results confirm what he has been experiencing.....remission of symptoms!
I realise that he will need to continue to be vigilent in what he eats and drinks, as well as in taking his supplements, in order to keep the inflammation and ulceration under control, but the fact that this could be accomplished with a natural protocol, despite the dire warnings from the specialist, is something that I am so thankful for. My son has a history of severe reactions to prescription meds, and, because he has Tourette Syndrome(also controlled by a natural treatment program), we had to be extra cautious about meds that could set that off. So this is why it was so very important to first try to help him without the risks of med reactions.
I am sooooooooooooooooooooo pleased and relieved.
